Twitter seems to be having difficulty at the moment as many of the websites members cannot log on to or even view the Twitter website. \u00a0The reason for the current outage is unknown. \u00a0An error page is being displayed on the Twitter website, however it is very nondescript, as you will see from the image below:<\/p>\n

\"Twitter<\/a><\/p>\n

For the non-programmers among our readers <% = reason %> is a programming placeholder which should contain the reason for Twitter being down and <%= deadline %> is a place holder where the ETC (estimated time to completion) for the repairs should be.<\/p>\n

There hasn’t been any\u00a0indication\u00a0thus far from Twitter as to the nature of the issue that they are facing. \u00a0The style sheets for the Twitter website also appear to be failing to even display the proper styling for the error page.<\/p>\n

We can quite safely assume that the downtime is unexpected. \u00a0We will obviously keep you updated on the situation.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>For those that don’t know, Twitter is a popular social networking website. \u00a0Twitter describes itself as:<\/p>\n

“An information network<\/p>\n

Twitter is a real-time information network that connects you to the latest stories, ideas, opinions and news about what you find interesting. Simply find the accounts you find most compelling and follow the conversations.<\/p>\n

At the heart of Twitter are small bursts of information called\u00a0Tweets. Each Tweet is 140 characters long, but don\u2019t let the small size fool you\u2014you can discover a lot in a little space. You can see photos, videos and conversations directly in Tweets to get the whole story at a glance, and all in one place.\u00a0See it in action.<\/a>”<\/p>\n

EDIT: \u00a0Twitter appears to be coming back online for a lot of users now, although it is apparently still unavailable for some users. \u00a0Seems like the Twitter technical team have been fast to respond to the situation. \u00a0Thumbs up :). \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
